Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Combine molasses and shortening in a small pan; heat, stirring constantly, just to boiling over medium heat. Remove immediately from heat and allow to cool.
  3. Meanwhile, measure remaining ingredients into a large bowl. When molasses mixture has cooled, pour over flour mixture and mix well to combine. Chill dough for 10 minutes.
  4. Shape into small (about quarter-sized) balls and arrange 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Flatten with bottom of a drinking glass or with fingers.
  5. Bake until dry and crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully as they may easily burn.
  6. When done, place pan on cooling rack and cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove from baking sheet to cooling rack and cool completely.
  7. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container.
